The summit has reaffirmed its positions and its firm decisions in favor of the Moroccan Sahara and the preservation of the security and stability of the Kingdom of Morocco and of its territorial integrity.

The declaration also welcomed the Security Council resolution n ° 2602 of October 29, 2021 concerning the Moroccan Sahara.

 

The Supreme Council also underlined the importance of the special strategic partnership between the Cooperation Council and the Kingdom of Morocco as well as its effective implementation.

 

The High Council of the GCC is the highest authority and is made up of the leaders of the six states. It meets periodically (annually) and, during its 42nd session, entered its fifth decade of service.
